  Nobel Prize High Five

Nobel Prize Winners High Five

As well as being anti-racist highfive.me.uk is also anti-ageist - although the high five may be seen as the gesture of choice for the young and happening, we also think it transcends the generations and should unite people of all ages. Just check out these two old-timers enjoying a celebratory high five.

But wait just one minute - these aren't just two random old guys, they're Nobel Laureates Barry Marshall and Robin Warren. Marshall and Warren won the Nobel Prize for medicine in 2005 for "their discovery of the bacterium Helicobacter pylori and its role in gastritis and peptic ulcer disease" (they discovered that ulcers aren't caused by stress but by bacteria). They were also recently made Companions in the Order of Australia, and it looks like they celebrated with a high five then too. It goes to show that high fiving is the celebration of choice no matter how prestigious the award you're receiving is.
